Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1-1 1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs you can also use chicken breast
  • 1 tsp Trader Joe's Aglio Olio Seasoning if you can't find Aglio Olio seasoning substitute with Italian seasoning.
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp coarse salt (sea salt or kosher salt)
  • 1 cup onion, diced (about one small onion)
  • 1 cup dry orzo
  • 1 17 oz. container of Trader Joe's bone broth about 2 cups
  • 1 14 oz. can of plain artichokes, drained and roughly chopped
  • 1 cup sliced sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained (one jar from TJ’s)
  • 1/4 cup half and half
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese + more for sprinkling
  • juice from one lemon (optional)
  • fresh basil, chopped (optional)
  • freshly ground black pepper (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Brown chicken: Season the chicken on both sides with garlic powder, salt, and Aglio Olio seasoning. In a large deep-sided skillet (preferably non stick), heat the oil over medium-high. When the oil is hot, add chicken. Cook 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Then add onion and cook 2-3 more, stirring occasionally.
  • Add & Simmer: Add the orzo and bone broth. Give everything a big stir so the orzo is submerged in the broth. Bring to boil, then reduce heat to low, and cover. Cook for about 12-14 minutes until the orzo is al dente–stir frequently so the orzo doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan. Uncover and cook 1-2 minutes more, stirring often.
  • Add: Once the orzo is cooked, stir in the half & half, artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese.  Cook 2-3 minutes more until creamy and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
  • Finish (optional): Top with a squeeze of lemon juice, fresh basil, fresh black pepper and more Parmesan, if you like!
